The Death of a CoIored Constable I'm
 TeXaa Kicks up q Lively Row.

HOUSTON, Tex, Sept. 26.-Word was brought in last evening that an insurreciion was imminent among the blacks in Matagor- da county. The sheriff of the county sent courier. to Sheriff Hickey of Braxoria county asking for immediate assistance to put down an insurrection. The courier stated that over two hundred negroes were under arms in Matagorda and that the excitement among the whites was very great. The trouble arose over an attempt of colored constable to arrest white man living on Kearney creek. The constable was found dead, lying in the water of the creek, and the negroes believe that he was murdered by white men of the vicinity. Later reports last night stated that Sheriff Hickey had raised posse of fifty mounted white men and started for Mata- gorda, while the sheriff of Matagorda county was en route to the scene of the trouble with one hundred mounted men. At noon to-day the report reached this city that the sheriffs forces have arrived and active hostilities begun. The negroes have been largely rein forced. The Houston Light Guard have just received orders to leave on special train for the town of Columbia. Brazonia county.

He cited and gave a complete history of the telephone troubles at Indianapolis, Washington and Rochester, N. Y., and presented able argu- " nasty and extravagant acts Of subscribers toward telephone companies, which consisted of the Knights weapons, the boycott, strike and political pressure, caused endless ex- pense to the companies and loss of time and business to the subscribers themselves. In the afternoon Edward J. Hall, of New York, read an interesting paper on "Long Distance Telephoning." the secretary gave 'fS Statistics of the Year" and W. D. Sargent of Brooklyn read an able paper on Reports on Underground Work.'' In speaking of underground wires President Fay and Secre- tary Barney expressed the belief that the outcome of the meeting would be determi- nation to remove all overhead wires on the principal through lines of the cities where in front of buildings, but that it had been demonstrated that continuous system of underground wires was impractieable for the reason that if continued for long distance the moisture from the earth and other causes made the words sent over the wires so indis- tinct that they were not intelligible
